Books Not on the Shelf

When LION notes that a book's status is 'available,' but it is not
on the shelf, or an unclassified book (one without a spine number label), i.e., law
reviews, reporters, federal codes, etc., is not on the shelf -- report the title to the
circulation staff. There are a number of possible places to check:

New Books - New books are held in the Technical Services
Department following processing for approximately one month. New books may be checked out
early when a patron requests the title. A "New Acquisitions List" is provided on the library's website.

Carrel, Cite Checking, & Law Faculty Check Out - Many library
materials may be checked out by law students to a carrel collection, the Cite Checking Room, or by law faculty to
their offices. Materials in carrel collections or faculty offices display in the online catalog as
checked out. Check with the circulation staff to find out which carrel a book is
located in. Students may briefly look at a carrel or cite checking book, then return it promptly to
the collection. For books checked out to faculty, we may be able to retrieve the title for
a brief cite check or to allow a student to photocopy an article.

Bindery Books - Books or periodical issues may be at the
bindery. There is a list of titles currently at the bindery located at the circulation desk. If the book or periodical issue is still in processing, students may
request that circulation staff retrieve the title for them to copy an article or check a
cite.
